Pastor Skip Irby is a Friend for the Journey

Here's Hoping: Conversations with Kathrin

During the Here’s Hoping October Construction Project, I’m excited to release a full-length conversation from Kathrin’s first podcast, Friends for the Journey, to give you the chance to notice the pearls of wisdom within.

I originally sat down to talk with Pastor Skip Irby in June 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic was raging across the globe. Yet, even now, there is such incredible wisdom in our conversation. Here’s hoping you find this conversation meaningful.
